Carrier Patrols operate as separate platoons, each with their own command team. Although its patrols operate as separate platoons for all other purposes, a Carrier Platoon deploys all at the same time as a single platoon. For example, this means that you treat the entire Carrier Platoon as a single platoon when calculating the number of platoons held in Ambush or Reserve. Carrier Patrols are Reconnaissance Platoons.
